funny newfie accent. makes things interesting. good examples to help you understand, tough tests. learn her cats names its always on the bonus questions.
She has a great attitude in class. When she teaches, it is more like a conversation with a really interesting friend than a lecture
Amazing teacher, by far my favourite. Look forward to going to classes. Classes very well planned, has a story relation to nearly every topic. Excellent notes. Tests are great, if you study. Talks to the class like an equal and has interesting assignments.
Fun class to be in...I actually look forward to going. She really knows her stuff and has a ton of examples at her disposal. Tests are sort of difficult, so study well.
hahahahahaha .... that's about all i do in class.. good lectures, hard tests, but one of the only classes i actually like going to.
I actually love going to this class! She knows her stuff. I'm actually learning stuff too.
This teacher makes my day! She makes the content very enjoyable and easy to learn. She gives hilarious examples about her own life, and gives bonus questions based on these examples. She puts her notes on WebCT, with blanks missing, so going to class is worth it. She will reference the text, but mostly tests on class notes.
AWESOME teacher who really knows her stuff. She posts her notes on WebCT that are fill in the blank. Make use you are there though, the bonus questions are straight from her stories she tells us (easy marks!) Tests are pretty easy if you study! I dropped my other psyc 105 just to be in her class again!
Clear and hilarious. ;D
She's probably one of the most down to earth profs I have ever had. Her class was always interesting and this is partly because she is truly passionate about what she is teaching. I would strongly recommend her. She is hilarious and you will love her class.
FUNNY! Good stories.
Kristine was amazing! She made going to class fun and interesting. She was very personable, had great PowerPoint presentations, and gave the best examples for almost every concept. Her exams are quite easy (almost all multiple choice with a bit of short answer). I recommend her for any class. She was great!
shes one of the best teachers that the faculty has =D i definately recomend her.. im sure u would love her. her stories do appear on her exams, and her notes are mostly guidelines to understanding the text book and exams.
Really enjoyed this class due to her teaching style. feels like your friend is talking to you, and it is a really comfortable learning environment. She does give the best examples!!!
Most hilarious teacher ever. Excellent examples, excellent notes, quick response on web ct. Exams easy as hell. Classes are great fun. Shows an enjoyment of teaching. Highly recommended.
Best teacher ever. Hilarious. Sweet. Such a great class! Can't get enough!
She's a great teacher...she totally gives a care!
I really like Kris. My only problem is I wish she would try a different approach to notes on papers. Whenever I get a paper back it's always littered with notes about how I did (by the sounds of it) everything wrong. But I still get a decent grade. It always leaves me so confused, because judging by her notes it sounds like I did nothing right!
Kris is an awesome teacher. She speaks fast and sometimes zips through her pp notes, but her examples are very helpful. Midterms were easy, final exam was haaard. She writes notes all over assignments.. sometimes wondered if her expectations were too high.. all in all, I do recommend her.
KP is a good teacher, she can talk pretty fast while trying to take notes (her notes are like fill-in-the-blanks) and her test are good (reminds me of L.Honey). NoT very understanding or humane though unless she really likes you. She is def. the APA nazi. Would take a class with her again.
Ms. Peace is an adequate teacher, but she is anal retentive. She expects perfection in APA style, and she is not accommodating to students. Don't get on her bad side. Better yet, get on her good side. Most people like her, but if you don't do things the way she wants she can be abrasive and obstinate.
Her class is incredibly interesting, but exams are totally irrelevant to the notes. She's super picky about APA formatting and incredibly rude when talking to students. Definitely anal. Dropped the course. study for the exams..WELL in advance..and be prepared for this class to drop your gpa. NOT RECOMMENDED!!
omg she is hillarious n thats what makes the class enjoying. her midterms were a piece of cake if you read your stuff but her final is a little bit hard becoz there was alot of info to learn.its cumulative thats why. overall worthwhile taking this class, what can be better than getting an A in one class all becoz of the teacher.
K.P is very nice teacher, she is very clear when she introduces psychology for her class. Her exams are straight up from her notes, and she never goes by the text book, so you don't have to purchase the text book at all. She also gives hints on what will be on exams. Goodluck!!
KP and this class were awesome. If you go to class, then you'll do well. Notes are pretty similar to textbook, but there will be things in class that she'll mention that aren't in the book. VERY anal about APA, make you sure you get your hands on a manual when writing papers for her. Don't use cell in class. Overall, would take a class w/ her again
KP is one of the best professors I have had. Her lectures are always interesting, her exams are straightforward and are a direct reflection of the class material. Class attendance is mandatory as her pp are half complete (you need to fill in the remainder). Overall I would most definitely take a class with her again.
She is by far the best prof I have ever had, her class is enjoyable since she is hilarious and made my 8 am class really entertaining. She tests straight from her slides, I didn't even use the textbook once and I got an A in her class. You have to attend class though or else you will miss important notes but class is fun so that will be problem!
Very interesting class. Very interesting lectures. KP is great at lectures. As a person she is very rude, and I honestly believe she does not realize it. On my paper I got a very good mark but did not receive any comments other than very discouraging ones. Claims I did not get approval for my essay but I did and had a witness. Weird stuff.
she is a good prof her exams are not hard if you attend class regularly, but she sure has a bad character and swears alot.
Made every test harder as the course progressed; not sure if this is something she always does, or because it was her way of curving the grades. Either way, it was annoying that we weren't told that. Really helpful in office hours, but gets off topic in class and still makes you responsible for what she didn't cover.
Thanks to Kristine Peace, this class was my favourite. She is super funny and relates her examples to everyday life which made the concepts easier to relate to. She goes through some material that is not provided in the text so come to class. If you pay attention in class and review her powerpoint notes you should do well on her exams!
Kristine is very funny in class and uses forensic examples which really helps if your going in that direction for schooling. She doesn't give out any assignments and her tests are very hard. Don't miss class, her short answer require examples she uses in class. Be sure to listen when she babbles about herself, she has bonus questions about her.
Kristine is hilarious... People may think she has a rude or inappropriate sense of humour but she killed me. It made me wanna listen because she gives you all these great examples. She's really passionate about psych too so that helps. She hates phones though, so don't use them in class. Doing well on her tests means going to class.
Funniest professor I've had, really into teaching her subject, and knows it well.
Her sense of humour made class exciting and I never fell asleep in her class. She provides great, relatable examples and her exams aren't too difficult. Attendance is necessary because for short answer and/or bonus questions she asks you about stuff she's said in class.
KP is so far the best prof I've had. She makes the material easy to understand and her lectures aren't boring. I would definitely take her class again. Just make sure that you read the textbook because she will ask questions on content from your readings on tests. 100% loved this class!
KP is the best Prof I've had at MacEwan. Her lectures are very interesting and funny! She is super relatable but if you are disrespectful then she will dish it right back at you. Stay off your phone and pay attention and she will love you! She includes the examples that she uses in class as the bonus questions on her tests so go to class
KP was absolutely amazing. She would ALWAYS joke around in class and we would literally crack up every time. Be sure to attend class or get notes from someone else since her powerpoint notes are fill in the blanks. I'd also suggest reading the textbook as well since she tends to pull material from there. As long as you try hard, you will do great
Very funny and goes through expectations clearly. No homework! Enjoyed the first half of the course, but the second half was rushed and we were expected to learn the material on our own.
Overall, great prof. Went through the material well through power points. If you hand write your notes, learn to write fast and concise because she goes through them well. Gives hints on important topics, and gave a bunch of examples for further understanding. PUT AWAY YOUR PHONES! KP gets really ticked off when phones are being used.
Super funny, easily approachable and makes class enjoyable. Has slides before class that are fill in the blanks. Bring a laptop to write notes or use something that will fill in the blanks. She doesn't like students writing notes on paper, unless its the slides. Tests are straight forward and if you study all the notes and the book, test is easy.
KP makes this class so interesting, she is funny and clear. Easy to understand without having to study a ton, however still recommended that you ready text as she tests some stuff from the text. Pay attention, make sure you understand everything even though the info may seem easy. Tests are a little tough, just know your stuff :) Great prof!
KP makes class interesting, and if you are consistently listening and following/filling in the notes as she teaches, you will be good to go. The tests are straightforward to her notes, but are difficult. She will NOT let you have your phone out during class - she will call you out! All in all, wasn't AMAZING but was pretty good!
KP is probably the funniest prof I ever had. You should come to class because she writes extra bullet points on the board and says important things aloud (such as hints to short answer questions). She is an easy marker for papers and her exams are straight-forward if you attended class and put in a reasonable amount of studying. I recommend her! :)
I am in the nursing program and KP's class is the best class I have had a university thus far. Made me consider going into psychology!
I loved this class! I prefer more science psychology, but she made Social Psyc really interesting! She draws a lot from real life examples and gets into the material. Don't bring a phone to class, she will call you out in it. Prefers hand-written notes to lap tops. Great class and prof! :)
She really cares about you and wants you to do well. She is so funny I honestly enjoyed taking her tests because she made them so funny. She keeps you engaged and makes you passionate about the material. I can't think of a single bad thing
KP is the best professor out there! If you can imagine Melissa McCarthy teaching psychology, thats her! She is very lively and hilarious in class which I looked forward to everyday and made everything much more memorable. Very fair grader, but don't use your phone. Show up to class, you won't regret it!
KP is one of the best professors you can stumble across in Uni, she cares, she's funny, and she loves the material she teaches. She's a tough grader when it comes to using APA but other than that her class average for our papers was above 80%. Her exams are fair and she uses a variety of question styles to try to hit everyones unique capabilities
Very entertaining to listen to! very funny and examples are relevant and make sense. crucial to attend class as she only has about half the notes online.
2 midterms (22% each), final (36%), a 7 page essay answering 4 questions on a TED talk (20%), and a 3% bonus for overall grade If you complete 3 psychology online or in person studies. Great professor and her lectures are amazing (very knowledgeable and helpful examples so attend class). Dont use your phone and I recommend printing out the slides.
Loved this class! KP is funny , personable and truly passionate about the content. I really enjoy her teaching and will definitely take her class again. Important to go to class because she does test on anecdotes she discusses and not all of the slide information is available on Blackboard.
Kristine is a real gem. She's probably my favourite prof. She's super knowledgeable, inspirational, passionate, hilarious, honest, and caring. Her lectures are out of this world! As long as you read the textbook and take good notes, you'll be just fine. If you love psych as much as I do, take her class. You won't regret it. I love KP! :D <3
Kristine Peace is an amazing prof! I did well in her class by studying mostly from the textbook before exams, although her lectures are hilarious, informative and helpful so I would recommend attending them anyways. Her exams are a mix of MC and short answer and are straightforward, not really any surprises. I would definitely take her again!
Kristine was an awesome professor. Very laidback in her lectures and overall approach. She is also HILARIOUS! We had 2 Midterms and a Final plus an assignment with the option to redo it if you did not like your mark. She gives you every chance she can to succeed.
The class was a hybrid so class was once a week. But that class was still entertaining. Shes funny. Every class you had to get into a group so no socializing is not an option and you have to show up to each class. There is alot of reading you have to teach yourself each chapter and in class they just go over the important topics. I wasnt a big fan.
I really like Kristine. She's super accessible, kind, responsive, relatable, and is really willing to help her students. That being said, this is her first online course and I think it shows. Way too many assignments. Weekly discussions, weekly exams, midterm, final, biweekly documentaries/questions, a case study project, and a final paper. Brutal.
KP is one of the coolest greatest professors out there. She goes into great depth of course material and uses many life-related examples. She is hilarious, and made forensic psychology sooo fun and intriguing! She is super passionate. She has clear grading criteria on research paper. There was also two midterms and one final.
Great prof and good class. Make sure you don't take it too easy or you might slip up as I did.
While she's definitely not a boring prof, I found her to be kind of condescending and rude, especially when asked for help outside of class. The other reviews are correct, she's anal about APA. If you mess up on anything, her first response is "I've told you this before". Very "you should know better" instead of "this is how you could improve"
Kristine was a great teacher. She explains in depth all the material so you fully understand the concepts and have real-life examples of how they can be applied. The in-class activities are easy and there is only one essay in which you get to watch a movie. Midterm and final were not easy but not really hard. Study and you should do fine.
I was only able to have KP online this year and she seemed nice but the work load is astonishing. Not sure if it's because it's online or what.. but so much reading and takes me hours to complete usually. I wouldn't take this class again unless it was in person.
KP is a really good prof! She really knows how to explain stuff. There were weekly activities with quizzes (that were straight from the textbook) and a final. The final had two parts, one multiple-choice (quite hard) and the other written; however, she figured this out and fixed it. I recommend getting the textbook for this class, it helped a lot!
Overall the course was very straight-forward, but I mostly dealt with the TA if I had any questions unless it required input from the Professor, like if you could re-take a quiz that you missed. It's important to complete the quizzes and activities in time before the deadline because extensions were hard to get.
The class was extremely easy and she made learning outcomes + expectations very clear. Would take her again, she made psychology a breeze. Lots of textbook readings, but they are very interesting.
I found that she had a lot of work expected for us in the semester, two quizzes a week, loads of lecture videos and every second week she would add in a documentary to watch and write a short essay for on top of the quizzes! Tough final exam as well. Has a group assignment that instructions are very unclear, overall decent but she makes you work!
KP had 10 mini essays, they were referred to as short assignments, but I don't typically have to find a ton of external sources and source the textbook for weekly assignments. They were extremely detailed and she was very picky about using APA 6. Her final was a much more involved research and took me longer than studying for my 2 other finals.
Kristine was okay. This class was asynchronous and Kristine replied very quick but don't even bother asking for extensions because she says no. She's def a hard marker as she did not give 100s out but as long as you follow guidelines you're good. The MC was kind of hard but the written part of the final was okay. The other assessments are fine.
I took 337 with peace and did not mind the class at all. She obviously is sour that people are doing well in online classes because she purposely goes out of her way to make everyones life difficult and she sends rude emails. She makes vague lecture videos with no detail, no teaching and expects you to read 800 pages for a test. she has NO SOUL
i took this class online. Her emails come off as rude, don't bother asking for clarification or help on anything. Lectures have very little information. Assignments are a lot of work but have months to compl. The "group" project criteria wasn't clear but if you participate a bit you'll get a good grade on it. The midterm and final are pretty heavy.
She marks very hard. She is rude and condescending half of the time towards every student. Not understanding at all. Just because the class is online she makes everything so difficult. Her lectures are so vague which is so annoying because you pay so much for this class. Try finding some other prof that teaches this course.
She comes across as VERY condescending with her feedback. She also sent an email telling everyone she was upset because the class did better than expected on an assignment - don't know why a professor would be upset about their students succeeding. The workload was also way too heavy and unrealistic for a hybrid course.
dont take 437 with KP. It was horrible. I didnt learn a single thing, there is no lectures, nothing. Worst class ever. not happy that i paid hundreds of dollars to learn nothing. shes also SO rude in her feedback in person and online, so condescending and makes you never want to come back to class when she embarrasses u infront of everyone
We had class discussion posts worth 3 marks and she would mark them so tough. When you ask for help she is rude and cold. She basically didn't teach anything except for the topics she talked about during the discussion class which was once a week other than that you had to teach yourself everything from the textbook. Not worth your money and time.
I really loved this class with KP! Most of the class was based around group discussion but she made sure everyone could be comfortable voicing their opinions. Very helpful and understanding with the partnered project as well. She was also always willing to help with any issues surrounding assignments. Loved her!
I absolutely LOVED KP!!! She makes her lectures very informative and engaging. Attendance is absolutely mandatory, as it counts towards your grade. Also, textbook is mandatory. Topics are interesting. Her exams are fair but go into detail. If there are questions she notices the class collectively did poor on, she will remove them. Great prof!!
KP was such a letdown this semester. Have had her in the past and thought she was cool, however her unrealistic expectations for her students in PSYC 337 made me think otherwise. The course is EXTREMELY content heavy, with lecture videos, excess material, textbook readings, concept checks, and quizzes. This class caused me more stress than ever
KP is very passionate about the work she does so I will give her credit where credit is due. Concept checks were easy but got boring and felt like a drag to do closer to the end of the term. Attendance matters which sucks. She wasn't clear on her expectations for group discussion posts and marked hard for the exams in the written portion.
If you're looking for a GPA booster this class is it. Kristine Peace cares for her students and wants them to succeed. She gives a lot of opportunities for bonus marks. Just show up for class and study the concept checks and lectures and you'll ace the exams.
Unorganized and unhinged.
Kristine was actually so funny, loved being in her class on Tuesday morning, so refreshing!! Take her class, won't regret it!!
Loved KP! You will need to participate in her concept checks in order to do well in the class. She gives lots of opportunity for students to do well!
Truly, I really like her! she links practical examples to the lessons makes it not boring, and easy to understand the lesson, she also helps students to preview chapters before exams .She is always willing to answer student questions and also providing details slides for students. Her class is always interesting and not boring!
IDK what all the bad reviews are about. She is so nice and entertaining. She gave bonus questions on every test which were a lifesaver. You did have to go to class, but the assignments were easy to get 3/3 on. Major GPA boosting class. Love KP
KPs an absolutely amazing professor. She is really passionate about what she teaches and is very approachable and funny! She honestly reminds me so much of the good high school teachers that will stick with you for life. It was an incredible experience being in her class and I look forward to taking her again for my other psyc electives!
KP was a phenomenal professor. She was hilarious, and her lectures were interesting, especially her tendency to relate funny modern topics to the course content.
KP was an amazing professor throughout the entire course. She was hilarious, caring, and always was able to keep the class mostly engaged, through her funny jokes related to the course. She's one of the best prof's ever ever had at MacEwan, will definitely take her again.
KP is an amazing professor and really made the class enjoyable. I loved attending lectures because of the interesting stories she tells and her fun jokes (plus amazing teaching style). Exams were pretty fair with bonus marks! She seems to really care about her students' success.
I really enjoyed psyc 104 with KP! Her lectures were amazing, and also liked the three test format for the class.
Great lectures, pretty funny with her examples and always gives extra marks on exams. Communicates very well about everything in the course and if you just review the slides and go to class you'll be good
I loved her so much her lectures were amazing and hilarious. Her midterms were super easy but there is just so much content in this course. I would 1000% recommend her.
made the class decently engaging considering a ~200 class size. Seems like a real human who cares about her work, cracks (decent) jokes almost every class. Unit Exams aren't too hard but definitely study. Basically get what you put in.
she made me love psychology her lectures are so engaging, her exams are basically her notes and there is always bonus marks at the end of each exam. she made it easy to get complicated concepts by linking them to simple things.
KP is a great prof, and has amazing lectures, however I really struggle with her tests. They seem a bit unfair as they basically pull direct quotes from the textbook. A question on our last exam related to percentages from a random study...
Exams are tough but fair in her course. Go to class as shes so funny and gives test tips in person.
